Clemson CB Mackensie Alexander declares for 2016 NFL Draft

The Clemson Tigers have continued to lose big names on the defensive side of the ball after their loss in the national championship game on Monday. Both starting defensive ends, Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd, declared for the 2016 NFL Draft on Wednesday with one more just following them.
